Chapter 1261 Determined to see it through, Charmine was fully focused as she continued to write from afternoon till sunset.
The sunset made the sky turn red, and with butterflies fluttering with their wings to the paper, it made a beautiful sight as the gentle breeze blew, 1 It was when the sun had set that Frank said, 'Todayâs not bad at all. It's getting dark. Continue tomorrow."
Charmine looked at Frank in shock. "Frank, how do you know it's getting dark?"
Frank smiled faintly. "I guessed it.â
Charmine smiled. "You're well-tuned to your surroundings."
Frank seemed as if he could see her smile when he said, "Charmine, you should be happy every day." 'And not feel occupied by different things every day.'
Charmine halted and nodded. "Okay."
She packed up her stuff and helped Frank to get down.
As they walked down the hallway, she noticed that the metal door on the way was already closed.
Charmine walked forward and pushed it. She frowned.
The metal door was locked from the other side!
"Frank..." Charmine looked around and asked, "Is there another way to get down?" "No, this is the only way.â Frank noticed the change in her tone, thus he asked, "What's wrong?"
The metal door on the way was locked.
Frank walked forward and felt the place for the key. It was empty.
He frowned, too.
This metal door was locked to prevent wild animals from descending the mountain. They should have left it open when going up and then locked it when going down.
If they had not come down, who came up halfway to lock it?
Charmine searched her bag. As they made this trip spontaneously, she did not bring her phone and had no way of being contacted.
How was she supposed to get out?
Frank looked up worriedly. "The sky is dark, and wild animals will come out."
With a thought, he said, "Thereâs a cave a hundred meters away on the right. Letâs get there. When Faye and the rest realize that weâre missing, they'll come up and look for us." 1 "Okay."
Charmine knew the truth, but she did not expose it to Frank.
She helped him to get to the cave. What surprised her was that there was food in there.
She smirked coldly.
Someone wanted her and Frank to stay the night out there to make Anthony misunderstand, huh?
Charmine helped Frank to sit by the log. It was cold at night, so she went out to look for more logs to start a fire inside the cave.
Frank sat in front of the fire and said, "Charmine, are you hungry? I wonder when Faye will get here. Iâll go out to hunt a few rabbits." "No need, Frank.â Charmine picked up the prepared roasted chicken and all kinds of dishes toward him.
"Someone has prepared them."
Frank halted and thought of something. He made a sound and frowned.
"I'm sorry, Charmine. I've spoiled Faye from a young age. Sheâs simple- minded but not evil." i Charmine could not tell Frank that the girl had changed and thus could only nod gently. "Okay, I know, I don't mind."
The two of them chatted before a wolfâs howl was heard from outside the cave.
"Charmine, put out the fire!" Frank immediately ordered.
The pack of wolves must have seen the fire in the cage and came over.
"Okay."
Charmine used her feet to put out the fire. With the sky dark, the cave was pitch dark. They could only hear the sound of breathing.
Following that, they no longer heard the wolf's wailing.
Charmine let out a sigh of relief, but just as she was about to speak, she heard some movements outside the safe.
Frank quickly held out his hand to tell her not to move.
Charmine looked over and held her breath.
She saw...
